FireWire port ESD clamp — what the 2.45V clamp means
The TPD4S1394DQLR is a four-channel ESD protection array from Texas Instruments, purpose-built for FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports. It uses Mixed Technology — a combination of TVS diodes and a crowbar circuit — to clamp transients at 2.45V, well below the damage threshold of the 1394 transceiver it protects.
Package and footprint — 2x1.4 mm X2SON
Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant.
